Asking Price Range

Estimated MPG

Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP), also known as "sticker" price, is a recommended selling price that automakers give a new car that is above the invoice price paid by the dealer. It is a price that does not include any options that can be added to a particular car style. When shown as a range, the prices are starting MSRPs, without options, for multiple styles for that model.

This price range reflects for-sale prices on Cars.com for this particular make, model and year.

These city and highway gas mileage estimates are for the model's standard trim configurations. Where there are optional features, packages or equipment that result in higher gas mileage, those fuel-economy estimates are not included here.

Best car I've owned

by Woody from Oakville, on Canada | January 23, 2015

I started off looking at and test driving a buick lacrosse. Then I was shown a Grand Prix. I took it for a drive and right away knew it was the car for me. It is so comfortable to drive and the controls are easy to use and are angled toward the driver. I like the exterior styling, having received compliments. The interior is not as nice. Too much plastic, and limited head room . Although I like the red lighting, and the seat fabric is holding up well. The paint still looks good and I have had the windows tinted. The 3800 motor is said to be bulletproof and the tranny shifts smoothly. This is the base sedan , but comes well equipped.

My First Car

by College Student from Southwest Virginia | April 23, 2014

This car was my first car, though I have driven other cars, I found the car very reliable for my needs. I am a full time college student who lives off campus, and I average driving 50 miles daily in this car and with regular maintenance, this car has been very good for me.

2005 base model Grand Prix

by Steve's Garage from Tucson, AZ | February 22, 2014

I own 3 Pontiac's, this is the car used as my daily driver and I am the original owner. During the course of owning the car I have only had 2 problems that I had to take back to the dealer for repair. #1 The gas cap went bad, gave me an indicator light on the dash. #2 One of the round dash vents cracked as was coming apart at the seam. The car now has 60K miles and as never had an issue. Mileage is impressive 22 city average/ 29 mpg highway at 75 mph (speed limit here). I wish GM did not kill Pontiac, it's the best daily driver I've ever had! My only regret.....I wish I bought the sunroof.

Best experience purchasing a car ever!

by Mom from Delphi, Indiana | November 30, 2012

I purchased this vehicle from Josh at Vektor Motors, LLC, located in Carmel, Indiana. I have purchased many vehicles over the yeaars and I will have to admit this was the most easiest purchase I have ever made. There was no pressure either. I drove 70 miles to purchase a vehicle for my daughter from Josh vs. purchasing from two or three local dealers. I found Josh to be very honest and upfront. He honored a price quote over the phone on my trade in. I would recommend is services to anyone and the next time I'm shopping for a car, I definetly will call him first!

This has been a great run with my 05 comp G

by Addicted to speed from Houston, TX | November 17, 2012

Bought my baby new in 04. One tap on the gas and I was hooked. Probably didn't need to spring for comp g, but I’ve been using technology for 8 years is still ahead of the curve. (Me: Tap shift, HUD (which like the guy earlier said is out, but inexpensive to fix, just time consuming) Wife: heated seats and dual climate control.
In sales, anything other than a sedan is a risk. I shudder to think of telling a senior executive that would like to join us for lunch “let me get that seat for you.” That being said I’m continually on the quest for the perfect sedan. 8 years and 103,000 miles later I’ve looked at Cadillac CTS, BMW 335, and Infinity G37 and have come to the conclusion that none motivate me enough to leave my Comp G.
Only thing I did was upgrade the factory radio to a Kenwood double din (with integration into the steering wheel controls) Added 2 x JL slash amps and a sub enclosure with dual 10” JL subs in the huge trunk. More than enough room for 2 sets of golf clubs. Hardwired a radar detector up by the mirror nice and clean.
So with GM (government motors) in all their infinite wisdom selecting Buick over Pontiac I’m in a quandary. My history: 1974 Le Mans, 1979 Trans Am (with the bird), 1994 Grand AM, 1999 Grand Am Ram Air GT, and 2005 Grand Prix GTP Comp G. Loved them all. I will never own a Buick. My decision: I will drive this car until I am forced to buy something else and for the first time in my life I am pretty sure it will not be American.

The best american car for the money

by Cash Money from Moss Point, MS | February 8, 2012

I will keep this short and simple my wife and i have owned a 1997 Grand Prix SE for three years now and have only had to replace the serpentine belt. It has over 200000 miles on it. GM did it right with the 3800 class of motors! Naturally i am lookling for another Poniac Grand Prix or Grand AM just the best car for the money!!!

A Whole Lot of Fun

by Raptorsmasher from Rocklin, CA | February 7, 2012

I recently purchased my GXP from a private party in Southern California. The second I got behind the wheel, I knew this car was for me. With 303 horsepower (5.3 V8) and a whole lot of torque (323), one gets a lot of bang for their buck. This car is both comfortable and fast, and she has a sweet purr out of the exhaust. I have seen many reviews speak of the front wheel drive torque-steer as if that were a major issue. Believe me, it's not. For your dollar, you can't go wrong with this car. One final issue is the gas mileage. If you put your foot into it most of the time, you will get 16 mpg, but if you feather it down the highway, 25 mpg is the average.

Best car on the planet

by Dahveed from Flint, mi | July 31, 2011

This car is one of GM's finest! I bought this 05 gt used with 98k miles. The only maintenance I've done is a tune up and oil changes. She still runs like a top, even with my now 114k miles, and I'm confident I'll keep this car for at least 200,000 miles more.
